Heads up, I just tried to open Ibal after not using it for a while. Seems it is no longer compatible with IOS 11 and won’t be updated unless it is re-purchase for $28. Bit rude I thought, having already purchased it. As I understand it the original developer sold the rights to Airspayce from Carrumbine in Qld. I emailed them and they very politely told me I’m out of luck and have to re-purchase if I want to continue to use the app. Not impressed.

Helicopspeeder, iBal was sold and Apple refused to allow the new owner to provide updates via the old owners logon and Apple developer access process. The original iBal is therefore not being updated and Apple are slowly removing all Apps that do not run on a recent iOS. The original iBal won't work on the most recent iOS, so it has been removed and is no longer supported.

The new owners can only provide updates via their own develop access processes, so the only way to get updates is to 'their' product and you have to buy that ($28 as you stated)

I'm sure the new owners would be able to create a work around with Apple and it is easy to blame Apple, but then they wouldn't be able to recoup the cost of purchasing the product from the original developer. Business 101.

Before you delete the old App, or open it on an old device if possible, try to send yourself the data, otherwise you will have to re-enter all of the aircraft data that you have in the new version. I actually found the data entry was more annoying than the $28.

What you leave behind is not what is engraved in stone monuments, but what is woven into the lives of others.

Not worried so much about the $28 but about buying it and It then becoming suddenly obsolete, but oh you can make it work again by paying another $28. And no, I haven’t re-applied for the ASIC, I work overseas but I get your point. I’ve had an ASIC for over 20 years and the only thing it has to get done for me is get me a discount at the duty free shop.
